I don't well understand what You mean. If You refer to the TF-39 model, I used in SU the property "projected" of the texture and i put the image of the stencil on the side, then in Inkscape I overlapped the vectorial text on the raster image.

If You talk about the Stamps in the Sopwith thread, here below I resumed the process:

1) in SU make a cube and then transform it in a group
2) put some text (here an "A") on a face
3) transform the text from "component" to "group", then move the group to intersect the face of the cube.
4) select the cube group and edit it selecting all the faces, then click right mouse button, and select the option "intersect" the group "with the model"
5) hide or delete the text group
6) select on the face of the group the area stamped and colorize it.

I hope this help You.

etc...

Ryan,
I agree with You. I hope that You all will be patient with me, but I have to learn a bunch of things, meanwhile I slowly progress with the design of the model.

Some note about the second beta: I used a paper, weighting 120 g/m2, thicker then the first one (80 g/m2), and I doubled it for some detail (eg. the round forms).
